Answer: 78

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 6 ounces of dough and 4 ounces of sauce will be needed for each person at the party. This means each person will use 4+6 = 10 ounces. Since 130 ounces were bought, it means that there are: (130/10) = 13 people.

Let the number of ounces of dough be x.

Since 6 ounces of dough are used and there are 13 people. This will be: = 13 * 6 = x

x = 78
